I found this interesting notation in Wikipedia:
Skull and Bones is notorious for its secrecy and anti-intellectualism. George W. Bush described his experience as "so secret we can't talk about it", and when asked what it meant that he and Bush were both Bonesmen, Kerry said, "Not much because it's a secret".[2] In recent years, members have been expelled for the club for "studying too much" and for associations with liberal causes.
OMG, I nearly wet myself, laughing. At last, an explanation of Dubya's natural born dumba$$. His club is afraid he would study too much! Oh, and likewise Kerry...what a jerk!
Since they expel people for associations with liberal causes, I think that would effectively exclude Obama and Hillary from their membership.

Skull & Bones is a secret Yale "Fraternity" Organization, which may have ties to other more influential organizations, such as the Council on Foreign Relations.
The 'C.F.R. ' backs both Hillary & Obama with BIG money.....In return for future political favors???
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_on_Foreign_Relations
Scroll to the middle & indeed Hillary is a member, where-as Mr. Obama has the financial backing of those organizations listed & has authored articles that are meant to be read only by their newsletter subscribers.
Thank you for the question.

Nope, only Hilary went to Wellesley then Yale Law, and Obama went to Columbia. Skull & Bones is a Yale secret society.
Also, traditionally Skull & Bones was all male... that's changed now, but not when Hilary was in college in the 70's.

Hillary can't be cause it's a college fraternity not a sorority. I believe it's the TKEs who have the skull and cross bones as their symbol.

One big question: Who really cares! Skull & Bones, the Masons, the Elks, Rotary, Lion's Club, the Mormon church, the Catholic Church, etc. There are many different clubs and organizations a person can be affiliated with and many of them have public face as well as rituals/traditions that happen behind closed doors. Does membership in any of these organizations make a person more or less qualified to lead the country?

No, but they are BOTH part of the Council of Foreign Relations. Just as bad, if not worse than Skull and Bones!

Both Hillary & Obama Hate America too much to belong.

They are the skull and bones party of surrender to the enemy.
Traitors of the left.
1963 Communist Goals
The following was entered into the Congressional record by Albert Herlong, Jr. (a Floridian who served in Congress from 1949-69) in 1963.
1) US acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war
2) US willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war
3) Develop the illusion that total disarmament by the US would be a demonstration of "moral strength"
4) Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.
5) Extension of long term loans to Russia and Soviet Satellites
6) Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination
7) Grant recognition of Red China, and admission of Red China to the UN.
8) Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the Germany question by free elections under supervision of the UN
9) Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the US has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress
10) Allow all Soviet Satellites individual representation in the UN
11) Promote the UN as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the UN as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo)
12) Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party
13) Do away with loyalty oaths
14) Continue giving Russia access to the US Patent Office
15) Capture one or both of the political parties in the US
16) Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions, by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
17) Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for Socialism, and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers associations. Put the party line in text books.
18) Gain control of all student newspapers
19) Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.
20) Infiltrate the press. Get control of book review assignments, editorial writing, policy-making positions.
21) Gain control of key positions in radio, TV & motion pictures.
22) Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all form of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings", substitute shapeless, awkward, and meaningless forms.
23) Control art critics and directors of art museums. " Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art".
24) Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.
25) Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography, and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio and TV.
26) Present Homosexuality, degeneracy, and promiscuity as "normal, natural, and healthy".
27) Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity, which does not need a "religious crutch"
28) Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the grounds that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state"
29) Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30) Discredit the American founding fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man".
31) Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of "the big picture:" Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.
32) Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture - - education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.
33) Eliminate all laws or procedures, which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.
34) Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.
35) Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI
36) Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.
37) Infiltrate and gain control of big business
38) Transfer some of the powers of arrest from the police to social agencies. Treat all behavioral problems as psychiatric disorders which no one but psychiatrists can understand or treat.
39) Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.
40) Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41) Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42) Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special interest groups should rise up and make a "united force" to solve economic, political, or social problems.
43) Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44) Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45) Repeal the Connally Reservation so the US can not prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
